Vapormatt, one of the world's leading wet blasting companies, is able to provide cleaning solutions for wire and cable products. As originators of the wet blast process we have developed several applications for surface preparation and treatment. By utilising water, abrasive and compressed air Vapormatt can provide flexible cleaning environments from very harsh to extremely soft and gentle according to the surface characteristics to be imparted onto the wire / cable / strip. The wet blasting process can incorporate various arrays of blasting nozzles with geometry specific to the product making this a very versatile solution.

Other benefits of wet blasting can include reduced risks of contamination, when compared to chemical or mechanical cleaning, as the filtered water/slurry mix removes any unwanted effluents and increases overall levels of industrial hygiene.

We have designed a compact special-purpose Vapormatt machine that is able to remove heat treatment oxides, and lacquer, oil and grease, from wire, rod or strip. The Profelis machine has given benefit to manufacturers of rotary extrusions, carding wire, power cables, bandsaw blades, fibre optic cables and high carbon steel wire. With its compact design and small footprint the unit can easily fit into the wire drawing or rod production line.
